At the time of offering, as soon as the twig was planted in the ground, the tree grew to a height of five hundred yojanas, the flowers were as large as chariot wheels, and it contained the essence of five brei of fruit. At the base of the branches, the seven jewels shone with radiance, dispelling the darkness of the four continents, emitting a sweet fragrance, and tasting delicious. By experiencing these, all beings gained unwavering faith and obtained the body of a god. On the second day, when King Utrayana made offerings, unprecedented mountains of jewels appeared on the left and right sides of his body, tall and majestic, like treasures of the gods spread out. The trees, flowers, and leaves blossomed, the fruits drooped, and melodious sounds rang out. On the right mountain, people joyfully consumed the ears of delicious fruit. On the left mountain, lush green grass abounded, satisfying the herds of animals, displaying limitless scenes. On the third day, when King Shunyachinda offered the offering, he poured the water for washing his face on the ground, forming a pool of water, like melted lapis lazuli, with a circumference of two hundred yojanas, containing precious powder, like a lotus chariot wheel, with various colors, radiant like a rainbow. The attendants there looked at the pool and praised it. Through the sound of the Dharma, they obtained the seeds for reaching the heavens. On the fourth day, when King Indravarma made offerings, from the previous day, on the four sides of the manifested pool, with the melodious sound of flowing water, eight canals flowed, circling to other places and then returning to the pool. From that sound came the sound of the seven limbs of enlightenment, the eightfold noble path, the three liberations, the four immeasurables, and other Dharma teachings, placing beings in the realm of the Buddha and the heavens. On the fifth day, when King Brahma-given prepared the food, from the smile on his face, ten thousand rays of light shone, illuminating the three thousand worlds, and all beings whose bodies touched that light had their five obscurations purified, inspiring faith in the assembly of gods and humans. On the sixth day, when the Licchavi people made offerings, all those without clairvoyance were blessed, so that one person knew another's thoughts, thereby understanding the consequences of good and bad deeds, and the Dharma flourished greatly. On the seventh day, when the Shakya clan made offerings, with the supreme net of wisdom, all the attendants and retinue residing nearby were transformed into wheel-turning kings, possessing a thousand sons, minor kings, ministers, and subjects.

The blessing of showing transformation, the beings who are certain, their faith greatly increased, creating the seeds for higher realms. On the eighth, when the lord of the gods created service, when Indra sat on the arranged throne, Good Giving and others requested, 'We should defeat them.' But he did not grant it. He asked, 'Is it a request to show heretics and miracles?' As soon as Clear King requested a demonstration, the Blessed One disappeared from the seat, and walked, sat, stood, and slept in the four directions, showing the four conducts and emitting various lights. Fire blazed from the lower body and water poured from the upper body, and he showed the reverse. He said, 'This is the miracle common to the Hearers.' When he sat on the throne, Brahma and Indra worshiped from the right and left. He asked, 'Is it a request to show miracles?' Clear King replied, 'Yes.' When his hand touched the ground, the nagas offered a lotus the size of a chariot wheel, with a thousand golden petals and a vajra stamen, and he sat in the center of that lotus. Many such lotuses appeared, and in each one sat an emanation buddha, filling the space up to Akanishta, some burning, some shining, some raining, etc. Those who had gathered to watch the various miraculous displays also saw without obstruction, and everyone watched without blinking, prostrating and making offerings. Finally, the emanation buddhas spoke verses such as 'One should begin and remove,' and then disappeared. The king urged the six teachers to take turns demonstrating, but the six of them pushed each other, realizing in their hearts that there was no way, and stood there trembling. The Teacher touched the lion throne with his finger, and as the lion throne made a sound, five rakshasas appeared, destroying the thrones of the six teachers, and with the force of crushing the six teachers into powder, they destroyed the armies of the maras. Ninety thousand followers who had wandered into the wrong path were ordained and became arhats. From the eighty thousand pores of his body, light shone forth, and at the tip of the light, one saw the Sugatas sitting on lotus seats, teaching the Dharma to their respective retinues, and those who heard and saw these sights and sounds attained enlightenment, while the inferior ones obtained the support of gods and humans. This is known as the competitive miracle. On the ninth, Brahma offered

He abides and teaches the Dharma, and those who gather to witness the miracles attain the realm of heaven. On the tenth day, the Four Great Kings make offerings, The light emanating from the Buddha's body, pervading the summit, like a lamp for the three realms, urges beings in the three realms to have great faith and obtain the seed of heaven.
